Well lockdown and COVID has wiped out all planes I had this year. However my brother has kept me busy. He’s been buying salvage cars for me to fix up (how kind?)
so I thought I would share some of the things I have been up to
most recent was a Vw transporter multivan Which was involved in a front end collision.
here are some photos along the way

the day it arrived

Then made a list of parts which included
bonnet/hood
new wing/fender
New front panel
new bumper and grills
new radiator
new Intercooler
new a/c radiator
new power steering bottle ect ect

then the parts arrived and we could mock them up to see if it all fits and straighten any damage out.
